Do employees contracted from any agency have rights if asked to be removed by a client. I have approximately 15 years part time and full time contracted as a security guard to a city of toronto departement. They allege I was negligent in my duties and argued with management and yelled at and made derogotary comments about the workplace. I deny this. As this is a place where their is public access, their has been numerous instances of harrasement against patrons and staff, including myself, by mentally ill homeless people. Do I have any legal rights here?

I am being let go for theft which I amnot guilty of and they have no proof. I have been working for a company 4 months and my employers have pointed out what a good worker I am and I have had no other issues here. Then a coworkers phone goes missing strictly by coincidence around the same time I get a phone hooked up. However I did not get a new phone but rather got an account with an old phone because I had moved provinces and was getting a local number. They say that other employees saw the phone I was using and it was identical. I brought in my phone to compare ESN numbers and they said I simply brought a different phone and let me go for theft, but I did not steal Anything and was a good employee. Now I have this theft on my record and have been humiliated, have no job to care for my kids or pay my bills, and did nothing wrong. Is this fair?
